Abstract
Determining the relative binding capacity of albumin (A), and amount of functional albumin, involves at least two measurement solutions of a test and reference sample. The measurement solutions contain an albumin-binding marker M. The marker in the measurement solution of the test and reference samples exceeds the presumed available albumin binding capacity. The test sample contains a defined amount of albumin of unknown binding capacity. The reference sample contains the same defined amount of albumin having a reference binding capacity. The measurement solutions are incubated under conditions that allow M:A complexes to form. The M:A complexes are removed. The presence or amount of unbound marker M in the solutions is detected after M:A complex removal by a test strip that allows determination of the unbound marker. The relative binding capacity of albumin in the test sample based on the presence or detected amounts of unbound marker is determined.
